# 말톡 vs 티스토리

The clearest difference is monetization model: 티스토리 at free against 말톡's free with in-app purchases. 티스토리 also leads on rating (2.8 vs 2.5). 말톡's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and ratings volume (112 vs 12). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 말톡 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and 티스토리 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

티스토리 holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 말톡 has 112 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of 말톡's written reviews are positive against 54% of 티스토리's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

말톡 ships an update every 2 weeks, 티스토리 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
